• Focus On: Survivorship
• Breast Cancer Booklet
• Strength Through Sharing
• Give Back to CancerCare

Looking for the latest research on breast cancer? In our new Connect^® booklet, Report from the 2007 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium , you can learn about:

• Personalizing breast cancer treatment
• Treating early-stage breast cancer
• Treating metastatic and locally advanced breast cancer
• Predicting treatment response and recurrence

If you have recently completed your cancer treatment, you may find yourself facing a number of emotional, physical and practical concerns such as long-term side effects from treatment, fear of recurrence and financial challenges.

CancerCare oncology social workers can help you cope with these complex concerns. We also offer support groups that connect you with other post-treatment survivors, and podcasts of our Telephone Education Workshops, Finding Hope and Meaning After Treatment and My Treatment is Over: Why Do I Feel So Alone and Sad?

For more information, or to speak with an oncology social worker, please call us at 1-800-813-HOPE (4673).

Reminder: Ask CancerCare

Ask CancerCare lets you submit a question to our experts on a different topic each month. During June, get answers about managing financial concerns after a cancer diagnosis.

While most patients are not initially concerned about skin-related side effects before beginning cancer treatments, nearly 80% are concerned about the effects they experience as a result of treatment—namely, irritation, rash and dryness—as a recent survey by CancerCare and Lindi Skin^® showed.

Patients need to be better informed about possible skin problems prior to beginning treatments, the survey findings suggest. That's why CancerCare offers the fact sheet, "Caring for Your Skin During Cancer Treatment" , which provides tips and information about managing the skin conditions your patients may be experiencing.

Often, learning about how others are coping with their cancer diagnosis can be a source of strength and inspiration. In our Stories of Help and Hope, you can meet some of the people who have benefited from CancerCare's services and learn how they have coped with their diagnosis.

Our free Telephone Education Workshops give you the latest cancer information straight from leading experts. Listen in by telephone and have a chance to ask the experts your own questions.

"I've been a steady member of a CancerCare support group for the past two years. I tell anyone with cancer that a support group is the place to go to feel free to express any feeling—fear, anxiety, loss, faith—anything—without fear of judgment."
